Putting Words in <CHARNAME>'s Mouth, right or wrong? Options

[Rabain]

What do people think of modders putting words in <charname>'s mouth?

For example, a modder wants you to do X so Y can happen, its part of his mod quest. However the player might not want to do X but the modder has designed his quest so that X has to happen so that shiny NPC can get uber item Z.

In order to facilitate this, modder puts words in <charname>'s mouth in order to make the player choose the right option eg:

Chain
NPC: I think we should go to castle X.
PC: I agree, let's go.
NPC: You will so not regret this <charname>!
Do LeaveAreaLua:(Everyone).

What do people think of this type of action? I understand that the norm is to give the player a choice, afterall it is the player who is roleplaying <charname> and should be able to choose rather than be dragged down a certain quest path.

Do you think this type of action should be avoided at all costs and the player should always have a choice even if it is to say "Ask me again later"?

I am not for or against this myself, depending on the way it has been integrated into the game. Though I would be wary of being dragged hither and yon by everyone whom I choose to join my party.

The original game forces PC hand often enough... anyone but I ever tried to tell Bayle that he does not want to go to Spellhold?

Myself, I am not sure that I want the NPC to over-write the PC's descisions with the "Too late!" because it would make e feel that my descisions had no impact and thus was a ornamental "one reply" option. I'd rather the modder was "honest" and told me straight out that I am not getting out of it.

But, ideally, I think that every quest needs to be easily abandoned, especially, if they are NPC quests. <insert a speech on how annoying the obligatory NPC quests are>
